[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges are building communities that learn, live, eat, govern and play together. The 4 years are not just about academic smarts. They are building citizens, but robots. [/quote]
The fact that you’re equating smarts with robots says a lot of your bigotry due to your lack of intelligence and competitiveness.[/quote]

Guess Jeff Yang is also bigoted and unintelligent...according to your way of thinking.

NP here.  Hate to say it, but he has a valid point.  Teaching to the test is no way to live.  In China, many students are excluded because everyone is the "same" (ie: meritocracy), and there are simply not enough slots for everyone to test into college admission, so they come here. Now, there are also not enough slots for admissions, but Asians only seem to want admission to certain schools, which is impossible. There are only so many seats, in any country. Period.

TL;DR: American colleges strive for diversity, very different than Asian colleges. [/quote]
